> If you’re looking at SR power, you might want to just look at turbo-ing your KA. Its obviously not got the same JAYDEEEMM bling factor, but its going to give you the same amount of power, more or less. Also, you’re really going to want to try and see if you can do some of the work yourself, since its going to save you a ton of money. There are plenty of resources on the intarwebz on swaps for these cars, so learning how to do it shouldn’t be an issue. If you don’t have the space, then you’re obviously not able to do that. I still think considering a V8 would be of interest. Cheap motor, cheap parts.

Im just weighing out my options at the moment, gathering up info on each swap (SR and/or RB25) so that in the future, IF I DECIDE to go either route, ill be prepared … Ya bout turbo-ing the KA, ive read some articles & forums about that & from what I heard its good for saving money AND like you said, you pretty much get the same amount of power “more or less” lol … But heres the thing, my KA is pure stock n still going strong at 280,000 km LOL … Im just waiting until i cant get any more “purrs” out of her then ill start weighing my options in real time (bolt on turbo? SR? RB25?) …

Now heres the thing, is it worth to rebuild my KA n bolt on a turbo or jus do a swap for an SR n put some extra mods to the SR for more power? (im not including RB25 cuz it has its own criteria lol)
